SETBACK: Brad Marchand's start to the season in doubt after undergoing a last minute surgery

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) and Jacob Winans(@JakeW_8) broke down the Panthers' 5-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators in Brady Tkachuk's return. A hostile environment that threw chants left and right, along with booing him non-stop even during the Senators tribute video. Brady responded with a power play goal nine seconds into it, and gave a shrug to the crowd at the Canadian Tire Centre. However, the Panthers didn't score after that, where they failed to register more than 10 shots in a period on Wednesday night. Florida got into penalty trouble in the second period, but none of their goals against were on special teams. Panthers also failed to take advantage of G Samuel Ersson coming into the game after Linus Ullmark left the game with an injury, only registering one shot on goal after that. Cats then eventually got caught in transition where the game then became out of reach. It's two divisional losses out of two to start the season, and the Panthers have a quick turnaround Thursday night in PIttsburgh. We discuss all of this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) and Jacob Winans(@JakeW_8) are here to break down the Panthers' 7-3 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets where the Cats had a second period explosion after a first period that was not promising and giving up the first goal. Brady Tkachuk got his first goal of the season minutes into the second period, and the onslaught was on as it was the first of six goals in a row, including a natural hat trick for Brady, all assisted by his brother Matthew. Panthers made NHL history where it was the first time where a brother assisted on all goals during a natural hat trick, and the first time it's been done for a hat trick since 2015. This was also the fourth time a player got four points in a period, and two of those happened last night with the Tkachuk brothers as they took over the game. Power play went four-for-six as the team had just three in the first six games. They also converted when Uvis Bainskis was slashed in the groin area and Mathieu Olivier was called for a five-minute major. Is this now a turnaround for the special teams?
